Unfortunately, the authoritarian tendency to ignore the law and tolerate abuses of power when it comes to migrant rights is not limited to USA. Here, a TRO by the EHRC did not prevent the Polish border guard from pushing a mother with an infant back to Belarus.

Today I'm finding out which people believe that if you're part of a population that is a small overall percentage of humans on the planet, it's okay to strip you of rights. I wonder if they have considered how easy it would be to classify them into a small overall percentage, and do it to them.

Language of the day: Khitan. It was the “state language” (國語) of the Liao 遼 state (916-1125); even the word Cathay/Китай derives from the word “khitan”. Probably related to Mongolian, we only poorly understand it now. It was written with two distinct beautiful scripts, and we don‘t know why.

if you disagree with these two, even politely, they will either try to get you fired from your job (in the case of Helen Lewis) or accuse you of bullying them into self-harm (Emma Burnell). I've seen the latter and personally been an attempted victim of the former

as per micro.arda.pw/@arda/114344..., bluesky started honoring turkish requests for account restriction or takedowns, which means it is no longer a safe medium for turkish opposition. (not surprising at all, and a bad predictor for future behaviour when fascism takes even stronger hold in the u.s.)

"AI work is just as good as human work" is a statement that always flows from the direction of power. Employers to workers, producers to consumers, but not the reverse. Because it's not a thing people actually believe, but an argument: slop is good enough for you; you are slop.

The Trump admin underestimates Ukraine's sovereign resolve. Witkoff can regurgitate Kremlin's demands until the cows come home, but like Ru, he has no easy way of implementing them. @oxanashevel.bsky.social and I wrote about the dilemma Trump is facing: www.justsecurity.org/109084/putin...

"Announces freeze" = "retaliates" "Rejects request for policy changes" = "refuses to cave in to political demands" Reporting this stuff as if it were normal just serves to normalise it.

It’s the Fugitive Slave Act all over again, and ought to be resisted by any means necessary, in pretty much the same manner as the FSA was. Plus, this is not a legitimate government, which makes the situation morally even more cut and dry than the FSA was.

People love to list useless things done by Roman emperors, namely Caligula’s declaring war on the sea. But a technocrat “conquering space” w/an 11 min 🚀 flight carrying a brigade of rich female celebrities—when ticket $ combined are worth the entire NEH budget for a yr—is beyond Caligula levels imo.

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.
